This watch is about five years old and never worn. It is from the time you could buy most divers and they were automatic. I remember this one because it was one of the first 500M watches Invicta sold. I thought it was a steal at $129 if I remember correctly, uses the 8215. I thought it was sharp but like almost all factory watches the lume was bad

So I kept it safe and knew one day I would rebirth it. And as my skills continue to grow Last week was the time so I went from this

Did Invicta call that the "Amazon"? - Zeno lookalike?

I bought one of those too.... in brown.
